Maintenance and Lubrication

Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure safe, troublefree operation. Inspecting the lift for any wear, damage or other abnormal conditions should be a part of all transit agencies's daily service program. Simple inspections can detect potential problems.

The maintenance and lubrication procedures must be per-

formed by a Braun authorized service represen-tative at the scheduled intervals according to the number of cycles.

NCL Series lifts are equipped with hardened pins and self-lubricating bushings to decrease wear, provide smooth operation and extend the service life of the lift.

When servicing the lift at the recommended intervals, inspection and lubrication procedures

repeated. Clean the components and the sur-rounding area before applying lubricants.

LPS2 General Purpose Penetrating Oil is recommended where Light Oil is called out. Use of improper lubricants can attract dirt or other contaminants which could result in wear or damage to the components.Platform components exposed to contami-nants when lowered to the ground may require extra attention.

Lift components requiring grease are lubricated during assembly procedures. When these compo-nents are replaced, grease must be applied during

available from The Braun Corporation (part num-bers provided on page 42).

Maintenance and lu-brication procedures must be performed

authorized service technician.Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

WARNING

Maintenance and LubricationAll listed inspection, lubrication and maintenance procedures should be repeated at “750 cycle” intervals following the scheduled “4500 Cycles” maintenance. These intervals are a general guideline for scheduling maintenance procedures and will vary according to lift use and conditions. Lifts exposed to severe conditions (weather, environment, contamination, heavy usage, etc.) may require inspection and maintenance proce-

Maintenance Indicator: The Lift Ready green LED mounted on top of the pump cover will begin to blink after every 750 cycles. The blinking LED will not affect the functions of the lift, but is a

reminder to complete necessary maintenance and lubrication. Once the lift has been serviced, fully stow the lift. Once stowed, press the UP button on the hand pendant and the Floor Level Set but-ton on the back side of the pump cover until the Lift Ready green LED stops blinking.

Discontinue lift use immediately if maintenance and lubrication procedures are not properly per-formed, or if there is any sign of wear, damage or improper operation. Contact your sales represen-tative or call The Braun Corporation at 1-800-THELIFT®. One of our national Product Support repre-sentatives will direct you to an authorized service technician who will inspect your lift.
